As this Korean series opens a teenage girl returns home and finds herself face to face with a serial killer known as 'The Bar Code Killer' due to the fact that he carves a barcode into his victims' arms. She flees but is hit by a car. In hospital the killer, intending to eliminate the only witness, murders a girl of the same name by mistake. Her brother, Choi Mu-gak, is so traumatised that he loses his senses of taste and smell and the ability to feel pain; later on he becomes a police officer so he can bring the killer to justice. Meanwhile the witness eventually wakes from a coma but has no memory of her life before the accident; she has also gained a strange ability; she can see scents. The retiring officer in charge of the case at the time takes her in as his own daughter and gives her the name Oh Cho-rim. Events a few years later bring them together and she uses her ability to help him solve cases; however neither realises that she is the witness he is seeking. Meanwhile the killer is continuing to kill, unaware that the girl he killed wasn't the witness because he has a condition that means he can't remember faces.

If you want something gritty then this probably won't be for you. However if you want a light hearted crime drama with elements of comedy and romance it is a lot of fun. The identity of the killer is not kept secret. He is shown to the viewer early on and it isn't much longer before the police regard him as the prime suspect... the problem is proving it. Tensions rise nicely as the killer learns the witness is still alive and starts searching for her. The characters are a lot of fun and the cast does an impressive job. Shin Se-kyung and Park Yoo-chun, particularly impress as Oh Cho-rim and Choi Mu-gak; they have a fine chemistry. The special effects used to depict Oh Cho-rim's ability are rather fun aren't over used. Overall I found this to be a lot of fun and would certainly recommend this to fans of light-hearted K-drama.

These comments are based on watching the series in Korean with English subtitles.

A character who can feel no pain, a character who can see smells and a character with face blindness are all part of this comedy thriller. A detective trying to track down a serial killer teams up with a girl also linked with the same killer. It has its amusing moments and a fair share of drama as the serial killer leaves barcodes on his victims bodies. Well acted by the cast but would have been better if episodes were reduced as it drags out at the end too much.

On episode 9 now and giving it 9 stars for keeping me interested to continue watching. I'm an ardent fan of Shin Se-Kyung. But it is the villain that makes the whole story interesting.

Easygoing, almost childish, romantic, drama, character lost memory, character lost family member, protect family, murder, serial killer nearby, family, sister, police, special investigation team, marriage, return of the villain.

I love the villain more in this drama i mean i have fallen love with minkoong great drama.

Actors **** Action **** Intrigue ***** Villains ***** Romance ****

Cho Rim (Shin SeKyung) wakes up from a six month coma after getting hit by a car, but whehen she wakes up she doesn't remember what happened nor what her name is. She somehow gains a supernatural power... she can see smells.

Moo Gak (Park YooChun) is a yung detective with not much talent. Unfortunately he looses his younger sister named Eun Seol, to a murderer.

Without knowing their sad and painful family history meet and Cho Rim becomes a big help to Moo Gak and become inseprable.

As time passes she finds out the truth about her past (the death of her parents, the reason of her car accident)

Will their strong bond help them both find the muderrers ?

We can watch it for intresting plot, concept and the villian. But entire love portion becomes speed breakers to the every episode. Any country police can solve this issue in 6-10 episode but the unwanted content dragged to 16 episodes. 15th and 16th episode is completely not related to the entire series and it looks like deleted scenes what editor cut nand thrown out. Except police everyone is so brilliant in the series.

It's an ok drama. After watching now the 3rd drama with the leading actress, not in favour of her. Liked her in the "Bride of Halbaek" though, it fits her in that drama but here, she was supposed to be a comedian but she is not funny. Continued watching is mainly for the lead actor. He played his role well. He is funny, serious, intelligent cop!

But they don't really have chemistry together, it feels forced!

The plot concerns a serial killer who tries to kill a young girl who witnessed him during a killing. She is wearing a jacket belonging to her friend so the killer gets the wrong name tag and ends up killing the wrong girl who is the sister of a man - Moo Gak - who is determined to join the task force hunting him down.

The police task force is something of a keystone cops operation which relies on comedy rather than effectiveness. There is also a Theatre Group that the girl. Cho-Rim aspires to join. Their idea of comedy is somewhere between childrens television and pantomime.

Moo-Gak has no sense of pain and no sense of taste -and a giant appetite - these disabilities have no bearing on the plot and it is hard to see why they were included. Drinking boiling water and eating twenty plates of food at a time is downright dangerous and should not be shown as having no ill effect.

The plot plods on with Cho-rim helping to solve simple cases by following smells whilst she and Moo-Gak fall in love.

The serial killer is shown to be super clever and outwits them at every turn until they finally catch up with him.

The acting is OK - I like the ML and the villain - but the story went on for too long and the ending is somewhat silly.

Found on Netflix watched in two days. Shame no s2. But as a lot of korean shows u get only 1 season it seems

This series is one of the better dramas combining romance crime and comedy. Pay attention the story can be complex at times but it is clearly explained so it pays off. The special power of seeing smells is cleverly incorporated into crime solving. Quite an exciting game of cat and mouse. When someone is cornered cleverly there is an escape.

The cast is likable even the villain is one of the better ones. Shin Se Kyung looks cute and pretty here. Park Yoochun isn't the handsomest but he has good chemistry with her. Nam Koongmin delivers a memorable suave performance.

One of the better shows of the last decade.

The series starts with some dumb secondary characters (not their fault, but director's, clearly), who act like aliens on our beloved planet (in the first episode policemen who sit in the car, then perform some circus dumb thingies like stepping on their own foot and stuff, while being later critical of the main character who really tried something), everything is super ok, so there is a clear reason to enjoy it! Shin Se-Kyung is as superb and charismatic as ever, Park Yoo-Chun plays fantastically, and the other actresses/actors are really good as well (like Park Jin-Joo, for example, who I liked a lot in My Private Life).

The unusual premise got me interested, the mystery at the core of the plot kept me going through the first half and the villain kept me watching through the second.

Without those "hooks" I might not have persevered. In fact I got frustrated with the self-indulgence of the story after the villain's disappearance and almost stopped watching before the end.

I liked Shin Se-Kyung in Rookie Historian, but in everything I have seen her in since she has failed to engage me. The stand out actor here is Min Nam-koong as the villain, who actually brings some drive and energy to the plot.

This might have scraped a score of 6, as I did keep watching, if it had not been for that final episode.
